There was discussion (again) about using the $2300.00 to pay for guests’ dinners.

Janet passed around a packet of brochures and information about the 2010 convention — to be held in Youngstown, Ohio, from June 24 to 27.

Len urged us to attend a Convocation lecture by Marcia Bjørnerud, professor of geology, on Tuesday, October 20, 11:10 a.m. at Lawrence Memorial Chapel.

Someone said that there was a “slight mention” of our convention in the Torch magazine.

Peter suggested photos of the convention be on our website. Bill and Barb offered to make a photo album.

Discussion returned to the topic of what to do with our excess funds. Mary stressed giving to a charitable organization. She proposed a Torch Fund in the Community Foundation. (Disadvantage: Money can’t be used until it reaches $10,000.00 in 10 years.) Peter suggested Rotary. Scott: the library. Marcia mentioned the Thompson Center.

Barb suggested that each of us come up with ideas for the next meeting.
